How Do I Make Money With Small ISP System or HotSpot ?

• You make money every time someone walks into your Wi-Fi area and opens a laptop or PDA computer. Here is how it works: Your equipment should be configured as open and easily discoverable. This is what you want - customers should find your Access Point or MESH Units easily and be able to connect to it. They will type some URL (like www.google.com) in order to start browsing, but instead of getting that page, they will be redirected to your login page, which is displayed by Hotware Solution ISP / HotSpot software. Customer have to buy one of the predefined plans (access rights) and get his username and password. After login, customer is redirected to the website initially requested. It's up to you if the customer will pay in your office, restaurant, or online using his/her credit card. In case of credit card payment, the amount is collected from customer by your Credit Card processing company and stored to your merchant account (account with processing company). These companies charge a specified fee for credit card processing and sometimes even yearly subscriptions. Some of the most used are PayPal, Authorize.net, but there are many other that offer additional services. A payment gateway company transfers collected money to your bank account at the end of the month or in similar time intervals. With the larger Wi-Fi network, home users can access to the Internet from their desktop computers so you can also start a wireless Internet service providing business ISP,

Limit Internet Bandwidth•

Use WiFi billing software to limit time, bandwidth quota, download and upload speed. Bandwidth limitation is often important even if you have a flat rate Internet connection. It limits customer from occupying your entire bandwidth with different P2P, torrent programs and provides an equal experience for every customer. This also means that more customers can access your network as we know that hardware (like access points etc) also have it's own limits. With Hotware Solution WiFi ISP / HotSpot manager you can create different pricing schemes and charge more expensive for accounts with higher Internet connection speed.

• Bandwidth Limit Control (Traffic Shaping Management)

Bandwidth limit is configured in Kb/s for each user account separately and represents speed of customer connection to the Internet. You can sell high bandwidth accounts for additional fee or save more bandwidth for VIP customers. Example: set 10 KB/s for regular accounts and 100 KB/s for special accounts

Bandwidth Quota Control (Traffic Quota Management)

Bandwidth quota is configured in Mbytes for every account and represents total amount of traffic available to customer. Example: Customer can download 10 MB in one hour. If customer uses bandwidth quota and still has time left, additional bandwidth can be ordered

You will not need staff to sell tickets.

• Customize pages displayed in customer browser

Each page can be customized to fit your corporate layout. You can put your company logo, change colors etc.

Different login pages for specific IP or MAC

You can create different login pages for different network segments. For example, wifi users connected to one access point will see one login page and users connected to second access point will see different login page

• Packet Filter

You can specify IP and port blocking rules for outgoing traffic. For example disable IP addresses 80.10.10.10 to 80.100.100.100 and port range 10-100. This will prevent access to mail, ftp, web servers in specified IP range. Option can be used to limit only specific services, like limit ftp or email usage by blocking these ports and setting range to large segment.
